&quot;The party believes in politics of serving the people,&quot; she said. &quot;By the grace of Allah, we will win the 2018 general election.&quot;

Sharif&#39;s wife Kulsoom Nawaz had won the crucial NA-120 by-poll in September.

The seat fell vacant after the Supreme Court <a href="http://www.wionews.com/south-asia/nawaz-sharifs-disqualification-murder-of-justice-daughter-23398">disqualified then prime minister Sharif</a> in Panamagate and instructed National Accountability Bureau (NAB) to file references in the regard.

Conspirators will gain nothing but defeat: Maryam Nawaz

Nawaz Sharif was disqualified by Pakistan&#39;s Supreme Court <a href="http://www.wionews.com/south-asia/nawaz-sharif-arrives-is-islamabad-crucial-hearing-in-corruption-case-tomorrow-23343">in haste, the ousted prime minister&#39;s daughter and PML-N party leader </a>Maryam Nawaz has said while maintaining that the ruling amounted to murder of justice.

Sharif has been indicted by an anti-graft court in three cases of corruption related to his investments abroad and in other offshore companies. The cases were registered after the Supreme Court disqualified the 67-year-old as prime minister on July 28 in the Panama Papers scandal.

Maryam&nbsp;said to be groomed by Sharif as his political heir, told Geo News that her father, who was re-elected recently as the President of the Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz, has been disqualified but not discredited, despite many attempts by their enemies.

But 44-year-old said that she does not understand the dynamics of getting justice in the country.

&quot;If you criticise, then you won&#39;t get justice, but if you don&#39;t criticise then you will get justice? What is the standard of justice,&quot; she asked. &quot;Our point of view is that there lies anger on the other side and the verdict was announced in haste.&quot;

Sharif, who returned to Pakistan from London today, is set to appear before an anti-graft court tomorrow in the corruption cases spiralling from the Panama Papers scandal.

Maryam and her husband Captain&nbsp;Mohammad Safdar have also been summoned by the Accountability Court. The Sharif family alleges that the cases are politically motivated.

Maryam claimed that the Panama case was &#39;not about corruption, money laundering or misuse of power.&#39;

Sharif, three-time prime minister, was disqualified by the Supreme Court over hiding asset details in his nomination papers for the 2013 general elections.

Just because the names appeared on the Panama Papers case it did not mean that those people were &#39;necessarily involved in corruption or any wrongdoing,&#39;&nbsp;she said.

Maryam said the case was being used to humiliate the Sharif family. &quot;We were asked private questions such as &#39;why does daughter live with her father? Why did a father give gifts to his daughter? Why did a son give money to his father?&quot;

We were also openly labelled to be &#39;don&#39;, &#39;Sicilian mafia&#39;&nbsp;and &#39;Godfather&#39;. Everyone saw the murder of justice in the court, she added.

On the options available to her father in the current political scenario, she said: &#39;Mian sahab has all the options.&#39;

When asked if Sharif has no fear of being jailed, she said: &quot;We have been there and done that,&quot; recalling that her family members have been imprisoned as well as exiled in the past.

&quot;There is no allegation of any corruption or kickback against him,&quot; she said.

&quot;We are asked time and again where the money has come from? How did Hussain and&nbsp;Hassan become billionaires at such a young age,&quot; she said.

&quot;People don&#39;t realise that Hassan and Hussain are grandsons of a billionaire, who was one of one of richest people in Pakistan at one point,&quot; Maryam added.

Pakistan court defers indictment of Nawaz Sharif in Panama Papers case

The Joint Investigation Team instituted by the Pakistani Supreme Court has concluded that Maryam Nawaz, daughter of Pakistani Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif, is the beneficial owner of the Avenfield apartments in London, reported Express Tribune.&nbsp;

The probe team also concluded that she presented forged documents to the JIT which is a criminal offence.

The JIT in its report said that the Calibri font used in the documents wasn&#39;t available in 2006 and hence could not have been used back then.

The JIT had sent the documents to Radley Forensic Document Laboratory in London for examination.

&quot;Calibri was not commercially available before 31st January 2007 and as such, neither of the originals of the certified declarations is correctly dated and happy to have been created at some later point in time,&rdquo; Express Tribune quoted the Radley Forensic Document Laboratory as saying.

Along with Maryam Nawaz, her brothers Hussain and Hassan Nawaz and spouse Captain Mohammad Safdar also signed the forged documents and misled the Supreme Court, according to Dawn.

The JIT was instituted by the Supreme Court in May to probe the financial transactions linked to the Nawaz Sharif family-owned properties in London. The information related to the properties in London owned by the Sharif family came out last year after classified documents from the Panama based law firm Mossack Fonseca were leaked.

The JIT in its report said that the Calibri font used in the documents wasn't available in 2006 and hence could not have been used back then.
